Trust relationship between primary domain and workstation is failed, can't access the local admin account!!!!
I'm currently stuck on trying to fix a workstation via a remote session opened with Teamviewer, the machine is a windows 7 pro that lost it trust relation with the windows 2008 r2 domain, I'm trying to access the computer using the local administrator account, don't have the credentials to login, so when I try to login via domain admin and password which I have it gives me the "Trust relationship between primary domain and workstation is failed." is there a way that I could fix this via the domain controller perhaps using a command line? I don't have physical access to the machine in order to boot a disk and crack the local admin account password in order to login and remove it from the domain and then later add it again so the trust relation can be restored. Any help will be appreciated, otherwise it's a long drive to go see the machine myself.

You can log in as the user that was on the computer last as It will cache the credentials. Then join the domain using your admin account

I get this same message "Trust relationship between primary domain and workstation is failed". I get the same message for any user that I try from the domain, and since I don't have the local user credentials I can't login to the local machine. I was wondering that I could resolve this from the server/domain controller side.
You could try resetting the computer account. Open up AD find the computer right click and reset. Other than that you may need local admin. Did you try and log on with the last user

cwstad2, I've tried to use the last user and it did not work, I've also tried to reset the account via AD, did not work. I did not try to unplug the network cable cause i'm not physically by the computer.
If possible ask a customer to unplug it possible failing that you may need to get in front of the computer.
